Fallschirmjäger Helmet

Fallschirmjäger Helmet in good condition came from inhabitant of small village in Northern Italy possibly Pergine in a valley along the way where the Germans retreated in 1945. The shell and liner were found separate and he put them together the liner had been preserved with grease to keep it soft. The Germans had left most of their equipment stacked in a soccer field in the village close to the actual Austrian border. Some of this was collected by the locals and in later years sold to collectors this was first sold to a collector in 1982 now I am fortunate enough to own it the first Fallschirmjäger Helmet I have ever owned.
